Advocacy and Leadership in the Early Intervention System
Consider becoming involved in improving the Early Intervention System. A way for you to advocate for the betterment of the Early Intervention system in King County is to join the King County Interagency Coordinating Council (KCICC).
The King County Early Intervention System is part of a statewide system of Early Intervention services directed by the Department of Social and Health Services, Infant Toddler Early Intervention Program (ITEIP). Every County has a Local Lead Agency that is responsible for coordinating its EI system and each Lead Agency has an advisory board called an Interagency Coordinating Council. In King County the Local Lead Agency is the King County Developmental Disabilities Division (County DDD) and the advisory board for Early Intervention services is the KCICC. The KCICC is a Standing Committee of the King County Board of Developmental Disabilities. The KCICC advises and assists County DDD with planning and coordinating services at the community level. Council members are parents, service providers, school district representatives, medical providers, health department representatives, and other representatives of other public and private agencies.
